Article Synopsis
- The study examined the effects of novel goose parvovirus (NGPV) infection on the skeletal muscle, brain, and intestine of ducks with locomotor dysfunction, using a sample of 97 diseased ducks from various breeds.
- Clinical signs suggested parvovirus infection, and postmortem results revealed widespread muscle emaciation and congestion in the brain and intestine, with molecular tests indicating the intestine had the highest presence of the virus.
- Histopathological analysis showed significant tissue damage, with NGPV detected in muscle fibers and brain cells, confirming its role in locomotor disorders associated with the infection.
Novel goose parvovirus (NGPV) is continuously threatening the global duck industry, as it causes short beak and dwarfism syndrome among different duck breeds. In this study, we investigated the viral pathogenesis in the tongue of affected ducks, as a new approach for deeper understanding of the syndrome. Seventy-three, 14- to 60-day-old commercial Pekin ducks were clinically examined.

The severe economic losses caused by the Newcastle disease virus (NDV) highlight the importance of the trials for the improvement and development of vaccines and vaccination programs.
Aim: In the present study, we evaluated the effectiveness of two vaccination schemes for protection against the velogenic NDV (vNDV) challenge.
Molecular characterization of fowl aviadenoviruses species D and E associated with inclusion body hepatitis in chickens and falcons indicates possible cross-species transmission.

During the period from 2015 to 2017, frequent outbreaks of inclusion body hepatitis (IBH) were observed in broiler chickens and falcons in Saudi Arabia. Fifty samples were collected from both species. The histopathological examination and polymerase chain reaction confirmed the IBH infection in eight samples (five samples from chickens and three samples from falcons).

The genome is 15,186 nucleotides (nt) long and consists of 6 genes in the order of 3'-N-P-M-F-HN-L-5'. The genome contains a 55-nt leader region at the 3' end and a 114-nt trailer region at the 5' end.
